Yes, no problem. But make sure to get a good PSU, it is a key part of your system (it can destroy everithing else in a fail... ive seen it happen)

Easil, you can run a Titan with 500w so this will be just fne

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

Generation 0: The first time you see this add 1 to the number and copy it into your sig. Consider it a social experiment.

thanks guys!

Get a decent brand PSU, Seasonic, Corsair or XFX if you can.

Whats that german site you are using?

Nice build, me personally would go for amd 6 core, just because games take use of it, and its only 14 € more. unless you dont need 6 cores, but id say they are useful for for games that take use of them.
